Value Collection 0204MSB 2-56 X 1/4 in Binding Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0204MSB is a 2-56 binding head machine screw designed for close-tolerance fastening applications where a low-profile, wide-bearing head is required. The slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The 1/4-inch length is measured under the head, making it suitable for thin-material assemblies where precise thread engagement matters. These screws are sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units per package.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in electrical enclosures, instrument panels, electronic equipment, and precision hardware applications. The 2-56 thread size is common in small-scale assemblies where fine thread engagement and controlled clamping force are needed. Trade professionals and fabricators working with sheet metal, PCB mounting hardware, or instrument housings will find this fastener appropriate for standard production and repair work.

Key Features

• Binding head profile provides a wide bearing surface for secure clamping on thin materials
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in general-use environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• 1/4-inch length measured under head for accurate fit in thin-stack assemblies
• No washer — fastener head acts as the bearing surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3-compliant binding head slotted fastener with a 1/4-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtighten — 2-56 fasteners have low torque thresholds and thread stripping is a common failure mode. Ensure mating tapped holes or nuts are rated for the 2-56 thread series before installation. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening hardware inside enclosures or panels.
